Genetic determinants in marriage
Almost all people would think marriage is a social activity and would never think there is any determinant other than the free will of individuals. Social science advocates the compatibility factors which are so predominantly accepted in explaining and predicting love and marriage relationships between individuals. But only a very handful of people with forward thinking would dare to consider and research into the possible existence of more profound genetic variables. Of course Brock McGinn Hurricanes Jersey , the study of genetic science is an extremely new domain in comparing with the relatively long history of the study of social science.
As very well said by Dr. Barry Starr, Stanford University:
"We like to think of ourselves as free thinking beings, making our own decisions and determining our own lives, but is this really true? Genetic work is beginning to show that we all have built in tendencies for how we act."
His "...studies...suggest a link between genetics and monogamy in an animal and genetics and divorce in people. In both Sebastian Aho Hurricanes Jersey , it looks like genetics significantly influences the actions of the subjects in these studies. Maybe genes can make success easier to come by in marriage."
Another finding by a team from Boston University in Massachusetts as reported by BBC News, 11 July, 2001 further suggests that:
"The chances of a successful marriage may be determined by your genes. Scientists have found there is a significant genetic influence on whether or not a marriage lasts."
"Nobody knows when they walk up the aisle whether their marriage will last forever." Also reported by BBC News, 31 May Justin Williams Hurricanes Jersey , 2001, that a team of scientists from Ohio University in the US has spent ten years developing the test which:
"...they believe could give a good indication of which unions are doomed to failure....It is based on an analysis of hormone levels."
